Page 2 - SAMPLE: A History of the World in 25 Cities

For Toby Battersby, polyglot and all-round marvel.
For Lexie Donkin, historian of the future.
For my mom and dad, who handed me my first road atlas on one of our many family road trips, spurring my fascination with maps, and for Erik, my favorite person with whom to explore the world.
